He pretended to be further left than anyone else who could be elected, and Americans elected him! So it shows that Americans really will support such a candidate. Too bad it wasn't the real deal. The corporate political complex will always try to divert the people's desire for real change into some pretender who can safely channel that energy without bringing about that change. The people just need a real candidate who will stand up for the people. He/she absolutely can get elected, and the 2008 election proves it, since that's what most thought they were voting for. It was a tremendous demonstration of the positive direction Americans want from their president. Now let's find someone who will fight for us no matter what the obstacles are.

I can tolerate losing. I can't tolerate not fighting for the changes we need. Not fighting means the arguments aren't made, they're not supported, in fact they're subverted. People are told to believe the most ridiculous corporate BS. The entire frame of debate under this POTUS has been absolutely pathetic, he has not lifted one finger for the changes this country truly needs.
